Our first update comes from the folks at The Ginger Man in South Norwalk, who have recently announced a week's worth of food and beer specials. Highlights include The Great Wall of Hops (Mon.), wherein IPAs will take over the brass wall of taps, followed by a home brew demo night on Tuesday. Thursday will feature barrel-aged and vintage beers, Friday's special is a bucket of five American craft beer cans for $20, half price large-format bottles of the same for Sunday, and a cask ale and BBQ event on the patio for Saturday. See complete details on food and drink specials below the jump. Cheers.
